I’ve always been one for planning, but I’m also one for keeping some types of planning close to the vest. For example, I don’t think the Nationals will appreciate the Chief of Police for Washington D.C. going on the radio and talking about how she’s preparing for the World Series parades and stuff:

In anticipation of the Nationals entering the MLB post season, the chief of D.C. police says she expects the team will pay for important additional security for games and celebrations … These plans will accommodate more than just the immediate stadium area, she says. Police are already planning for a parade in the event of a Nats’ win, and for spontaneous celebrations in the streets.

“It’s going to be a big celebration for us here in Washington,” she says. “We already have (the playoffs) sealed up,” Lanier says of her confidence in the team. “We know we’re going.”

I guess it’s better than what the Nats themselves and so many of their fans are doing: planning for the next six World Series championships that their careful handling of Stephen Strasburg has rendered an inevitability.

The Indians announced on Tuesday that starter Trevor Bauer has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a stress fracture in his right fibula. Pitcher Tyler Olson has been recalled from Triple-A Columbus.

Bauer, 27, took a line drive from José Abreu off of his right ankle in the seventh inning of Saturday’s start against the White Sox. He was attended to by a trainer before leaving the game.

Bauer has been among the game’s best starters this season, owning a 2.22 ERA with a 214/56 K/BB ratio in 166 innings.

Olson, 28, has pitched 18 subpar innings in the majors this season. With Triple-A Columbus, he posted a sterling 1.86 ERA with 15 strikeouts and one walk in 9 2/3 innings. Olson missed some time earlier this season with a lat strain.
